9 Changed the definition of a person-intransit in the Dominican Republic. This law rendered children of migrants born in an irregular situation (i.e. from undocumented parents) as people-intransit who are not Dominican nationals even if they were born in Dominican soil.

10 The Inter-American Court on Human Rights ruled that Dominican Civil Registry officials had violated the human rights of these children by refusing to register their births.

11 Junta Central Electoral (Electoral Council) suspends any documents that appear to be irregular. Many Dominicans of Haitian descent find that their birth certificates and identification documents as Dominican nationals have been rendered invalid by the JCE.

12 "Well, but I understand that laws are not retroactive: and how could it be that after twenty five years you are going to deny me a document that was already given to me and fulfilled all legal requirements" (73). Alfredo Oguisten, who lost the opportunity to go to college on a scholarship "To not be able to have that document is as if I were a foreigner, but in my own land or in my own nation. As if I were someone who left another place and arrived here, but it is not true because I was born, I studied and I was raised here." (74). Rogelio Exil de la Rosa "... if they do not give them to me (the documents), I am from here. Because I am Dominican even if they keep the document: I am Dominican". (74) Feliciana Pelsien Yan

13 Yo soy de aquí

14 Article #18: Determines that Dominicans are: 1)the children of Dominican mothers or fathers; 2)those who already are Dominican nationals before the application of this Constitution; 3)people born in national territory, except the children of foreigners in diplomatic delegations, of foreigners-in-transit or who are undocumented residents of the Dominican territory.

15 It determined that the children of foreignborn parents in an irregular migratory situation since 1929 could not be considered Dominican nationals. The decision applied retroactively.

17 Reports on Resolution and Constitutional Tribunal decision

18 It reinstitutes Dominican nationality to the children of foreign-born residents who were already included in the Dominican Civil Registry before 2007 (group A). It affirms that the state had granted nationality erroneously to those people but it cannot penalize them for the state's mistake. It requires the children of foreigners in an "irregular" migratory situation (group B) who were notregistered in the Civil Registry to be registered in the book for foreigners as established by the General Migration Law # There is no path for naturalization for them.

19 Dominicans of Haitian Descent and the Implementation of these Policies

20 Its implementation was limited by various factors. Reconoci.do: Less than 10,000 were able to submit their paperwork. Officials delayed their response as well as asked for requirements not specified by the law. (Juan Telemín, Reconoci.do)

21 Dominican women of Haitian descent and their children are a particularly vulnerable population.

25 interculturalidad seen this way wants to walk paths of creativity, of exchanges, conviviality, social articulation, celebration of what is beautiful, what is good, what is just, what humanizes all of us. It wants to solidify social relations and contribute to the well-being and knowledge of the other as a person with dignity, capable of transforming society in a positive fashion (Digna María Adames, 2013, 106).
